Stripping away USAID is a Project 2025 policy

You know the same Project 2025 you said Trump had nothing to do with.

Mandate for Leadership | A Product of The Heritage Foundation

This was a project of more than 100 organizations to prepare for a new conservative administration through policy, training, and personnel.

SA's loss is America's gain. Ever since majority rule in SA, there has been reverse apartheid - they have names to disguise it, eg. affirmative action. Even the power cuts because the corrupt government haven't maintained the electricity grid (a grid that functioned perfectly well when the caucasians were in charge) are termed 'load shedding' to try to disguise what's really happening.

Lucky Afrikaaner farmers. Wish I could claim asylum in US from Starmer's failed state.

And then the SA Government will only have the majority black population to answer to. It'll be another bloody civil war I expect.
 
Leave 'em to it.

Understanding Zimbabwe’s Economic Collapse: Causes and Consequences​

Although Zimbabwe was once seen as a standout economy in Africa, it has experienced a sharp and complex decline. From the 1990s to the present, inflation rates have surged, unemployment has risen dramatically, politics have grown unstable, and foreign investment has dwindled. Once a promising economy, Zimbabwe has struggled under the weight of its own challenges.
Zimbabwe’s economic collapse is rooted in a web of interconnected issues, including political factors, policy mismanagement, international isolation, and structural economic weaknesses. This paper examines these factors to illustrate how domestic and international influences contributed to Zimbabwe's economic downturn.

Historical Context and the Seeds of Economic Instability​

After gaining independence from Britain in 1980, Rhodesia, now known by another name - Zimbabwe, initially grew richer under Robert Mugabe because there was so much infrastructure, good farming, and a wide variety of businesses. Robert Mugabe helped Rhodesia to prosper soon after the country got independence from Britain as a result of good transport networks, solid farming and diverse economy. However, the government gradually adopted a more centrally controlled regime, especially in relation to landownership and economic planning, which resulted in some challenges emerging early enough.
One of the early policies that led to future problems was following a socialist model that focused on government intervention and ownership. While the initial motive was to lessen social disparities, this system was ultimately responsible for graft and inefficiency. Initially those policies on land redistribution were implemented cautiously so as not to interfere with food production but they became more radical hence instigating broader political problems which also hurt agriculture.

The Impact of Land Reform and Agricultural Decline​

The accelerated land redistribution program of 2000 is often viewed as a pivotal economic turning point. To address colonial-era land imbalances, Mugabe’s government implemented a fast-track land reform that reallocated white-owned commercial farms to black Zimbabweans. However, instead of a carefully managed initiative, the program was marked by violence, chaos, and the displacement of skilled farmers.

I've already said I don't admire him.

However I admire what he is achieving. His ruffling of feathers is already getting countries to commit to more defence spending etc. And pleeeeease don't give me the rubbish about 'oh but they had already committed to do that!' yeah when? A decade ago or more??? Or maybe 30 years from now?

Trump is getting things done. As Elvis used to say 'taking care of business.'

Don't worry, when it collapses to a certain point, the UK will welcome them all here ...

Yes, in the end it's the poor blacks who will suffer because they have nowhere else to go. See Zimbabwe for details - as in Filly's post above. Doomed to repeat history.
 
Here is how Trump supporters are brainwashed

USAID is a very dodgy setup, doing things like pushing the trans narrative.

Yeah it’s well dodgy the way USAID has been stopping fentanyl getting into the USA

Over the past year – because of UN assistance and U.S. funding – there have been major seizures of precursor chemicals from China, as well as methamphetamine and fentanyl at the port. Due to the Stop Work order, the Container Control Programme training of personnel has ceased, which will increase the risk that more fentanyl and illicit drugs come into the United States.
